Bluewater Bay Resort - Lake Course

Very unusual course. Staff was very nice. Course fairways are not in good shape but holes were laid out well and challenging. not much turf on fairways, but good rolls on drives. Greens are very slow. Only played 9 holes and apparently the back nine was the better 9.

A real dump. No grass, dirt everywhere, very poorly maintained. Greens were OK. Bunkers were surprisingly well maintained. Looked like a course with no money & hanging on for dear life. In a community with nice homes, so I thought the course might be all right. I was wrong. If you are in Destin or Fort Walton Beach area, pick someplace else.

Love this course, the people who work here are 1st class, always so friendly. The course used to have more than just the two nines and a driving range and course isnt always in best shape, but there are some great holes, its an awesome layout and greens are starting to come in nicely, if this course had more funding, you could see the potential. Judge the wind wisely here ! Overall its one of my faves just always not in best condition, but they do the best for what they are given. Look forward fo greens growing in, will be back !

We played the first nine in good time, then a foursome showed up as we were driving to the second nine. They caused a significant delay and play was slow for the last holes. Everyone was supposed to ho off yhe Marsh course. Then on to the Bay course. This group didn't do that and took a lot of the enjoyment out of the round with having to constantly wait.

Also, three of our golfers had GPS.watches and could not get the yardage and holes to match up. Possibly, an update to the info supplied would be in order.

Many shots required hitting off hard packed dirt over bunkers. Greens weren’t much better. I played last year at the same time of year. I was impressed with the pretty decent conditions. This year was a huge disappointment.

Must be the time of year.
However, I would play it again for 35 bucks.
The tolls to the course and back are what spoils things!!

Was told at the start it would be slow. It was.
The first mine we waited!! The second mine we were blessed by foursomes letting us play thru!
Overall, course was pretty decent!

Greens very slow but they looked like they had been top dressed, so maybe a green cut is scheduled soon. Bunkers were okay and fairways need some work for sure.
I understand there is new management here, so I hope they will invest both time and money on the course.
I will be back soon to see what’s happening. The layout is quite good.
